This week, the focus shifts to France. We'll be scanning the French coastlines for the best beaches in the country, scouring Bordeaux for foodie gems, and on Thursday ... our TwiTrip series descends on Marseille.

As with all of our previous TwiTrips, nothing is planned. From breakfast to bedtime I'll be relying on your tips, streaming my moves on the Guardian Travel site, and on Twitter @benjilanyado. My first request, as always, is for somewhere to stay ... any ideas? Thanks in advance.
